I want to feel
like I'm close to something real
I want to find
Something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong"

The first time Reborn had heard of the second Arcobaleno he had thought it was a bunch of bull-shit.
Nerveless, he had kept an ear out, in case there was some truth to the gossip. When his minions, err, fellow colleagues, that is, came back empty handed, he dismissed them entirely. Imagine Reborns surprised when he was called into Nono's office, and ordered to hunt down the elusive group (Reborn refused to call them Arcobaleno until he saw them for himself), Reborn was also to inform his fellow Arcobaleno of the situation. They were to handle the situation delicately.
Colonnello had been hearing the rumors, he did work in Mafia Land it was impossible for him not to hear them, but he didn't believe them either, until Reborn himself came.
Lal Mirch had been busy planning a hostile takeover half way across the country, So, when she was told of the recent development she was shocked, and despite herself, relieved. If there was another group out there, who were like them, then perhaps that meant they could get closer to breaking the curse.
Viper or Mammon (as he/she liked to call himself these days), had been easily persuaded to help search for the supposedly second Arcobaleno, partly because he was desperate to break the curse put on him/her, and because he/she was enticed to join in the form of a very hefty sum.
Skull was too afraid of Reborn to not do what he was ordered, so with a heavy heart, he set out in search of another group of Arcobaleno, Skull never questioned it, he reasoned that if checker-face created them for whatever reason, then it wasn't impossible for the man to create another group of Arcobaleno.
Verde refused to join Reborn hunt down an unknown group, Verde had no interest in that, he had never minded being trapped in a baby's body (just annoyed), and he had better things to do at the lab. Reborn had to drag Verde with the group as they traveled.
The surprise came in the form of Fon, a Chinese baby who had a serene feel to him, it appeared that he had his son kidnapped a year ago, and no matter what Fon did he couldn't find any trail of his missing son. Not even through the triad. The 'baby' was heart broken, breaking the curse was the last thing on his mind, and the other felt for him but orders where orders, besides it was more than likely that he would be able to find his son by traveling with them than staying in Namimori, the last place his son had been seen alive. If the 'baby' was able to help with the search of the newest Arcobaleno, well, that was a bonus.
Sadly, Luce, was unable to come and help Reborn, her health wasn't at its best, and she had her own famiglia to run, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to, but she offered to help Fon search for his son, to which the former martial artist agreed to.

During the first week traveling together, the Arcobaleno ran into a murder investigation, and then to an orphanage. They left it pretty quickly, and no one really paid any attention to it, after all runaways cases weren't a surprise to the local cops.
Lambo, the group quickly found out, knew a lot about being in shady places, he could get his hands on weapons faster than anyone else, he also knew how underground worked, it was a surprise because of Lambo's spoiled attitude towards, well, everything in general.
The one who handled most of the talking was Hibari Kyouya, who always had to curb his violent nature, and always disappeared at times. It would have been Hayato Gokudera or Mukuro Rokudo, but after the 'incident' neither aforementioned people were allowed to. It was laughable that it was the most violent person in the group who was delegated to talking to others, but no one could deny that the baby with the purple pacifier got the information.
Tsuna, as he liked to be called, made plans to travel to whatever destination they had chosen, he handled the groups problems as efficiently as possible.
Gokudera handled the financial problems of the small group, after all, they had a spoiled brat and a lot of people who destroyed private property on a daily basis. He also came up with plans on how to get the money needed, not all of them legal.
It was Mukuro Rokudo whose invaluable skill of making them nearly invisible came to play, they knew that they were bound to catch the attention of someone, but for now it was the holder f the indigo's pacifiers problem to hide the groups tracks.
Sasagawa Ryohei was a surprisingly good medic, if any of them got sick they were left in the capable hands of the yellow pacifier holder.
Yamamoto Takeshi was a gifted con artist, his personality but many people at ease, his easy smile won them over more often than not, and the bay turned out to be very gifted with the sword.
Together they were a formidable team, of course they could be better, but they were still getting use to one another.
Still, they were all happy they had met one another, they felt like they belonged for the first time in their life, it felt like family.
Before this they had been so alone, but now they were family, they looked out for one another, and they were happy.
And before they it half a year had passed.
